Dear Reader:
Welcome to the Winter 2005 issue of Your Health.
As we enter a new year, many of us make New Year's Resolutions. Our resolution at Akron General is to further live our mission of improving the health and lives of our patients and community.
In this issue you will find several examples of our efforts — from new technologies to treat stroke — to being Summit County's only accredited Chest Pain Center — to sharing some stories of patients whom we've been able to help — to examples of how we are helping beyond our campus and into the community.
In this issue, you will also find a readership survey. I encourage you to complete and return it with your feedback. Your opinion is important to us.
On behalf of everyone at Akron General, I wish you and yours a healthy and happy year ahead.
Warm regards,
Alan J. Bleyer
President
Akron General Medical Center
P.S.: Visit us online at www.akrongeneral.org for information on our many community programs to help you keep your New Year's Resolutions — be they managing stress better, stopping smoking, leading a more active lifestyle, eating better, improving family relationships, being more active in our community and whatever else you've resolved to do.
